[W126 Coupe] Leak in trunk is FIXED

[Frank North]

Using all your suggestions, I used newspaper at the antennae, etc. and by
running water all over the trunk and rear glass area was able to isolate the
leak. This may be a good lesson for those with a strange leak in the lower
recessed area in the trunk: Again, by taping newspaper as you suggested all
over the left side, the water was coming in via the bottom of the rear lamp
housing. The nuts were NOT tight holding it in and water was pooling in that
small tray on the top (just under the trunk lid.) As it filled it overflowed
and water leaked into the lamp itself and emptied into the left recessed
well. I have tightened all of the nuts holding the housing in and no more
leak!

Thanks to all the suggestions it's now fixed. (At no cost and without me
climbing into the trunk with a flashlight.)
